panfishing secerts discoverd!

[microman]

these techniques have helped me catch huge amounts of pan fish. i hope they help you to.

1. use micro sized white curly tail grubs with red jig heads

2. the roadrunner

3. trout dry files over there spawning bed

4. wet flies

5. maggots, there gross, but they work

6. chum with blood worms

7. throw some pendants(like the ones car dealers use) in to the water(float on top and a sinker on bottom) this attracts fish

8. use tiny swim baits

9. trolling tiny spoons

10. put a small ball of bread in a piece of pantyhose, then hook it on the hook

Gee thanks.

I didn't know there was any secrets to catching panfish, they're hands down the easiest to catch.  That's why you take little kids fishing for them.  If  they're around, they can be caught pretty much every cast.

Good post microman, plenty of good ideas there. 8-)

11)Minnows under slip float

should be #1 for crappie, but for bluegill, waxworms and crickets trump all

If you own water front property, click on the link to Pond Boss to see about getting yourself a dock mounted fish feeder.  If you don't own water front, cruise the shorelines looking for somebody that has one.

Purina makes a great fish chow for bluegills.

I agree if you are trying to catch tiny gills. But try targeting large (10" plus) gills only, and it is quite a challenge!

I've never used anything  besides night-crawlers. I didn't think about using anything else

#12 1/32 oz. beetle spin. This one does catch big panfish and crappie as well.

i fish a lake that has some gig gills. well the little gills took over. put one of those little beatle spins on last year and started to catch the big gills again. with wax worm i was just catching the small ones. also caught a 4lb bass on the beatle spin with 4lb test line. ;D

There is a few specific local ponds where I use small pieces of cut up hot dog, the cheaper the better... but that only works at a few specific ponds, the rest always bite on worms and chicken liver.

[roadwarrior]

Worms, crickets and baby craws cover it all.

+1 I often get a bonus catfish or two with these baits in a couple of the lakes I fish. 8-)

lol this was a joke,

you can catch panfish on a white piece of paper, there's no secrets.

His handle should be microboy.  Check his age.  His sense of humor is decidedly juvenile.

BINGO!

[RiverFisher13]

Was night fishing last year and my friend pulled in a 12 3/4" blue gill night fishing for cat with chicken liver on bottom with a 2/o hook. So i would say chicken liver should be on the list for big gill.

I'm aware of that, and there is a reason I would like him to answer my question.

Thanks

No need to be name calling yourself, it's just that respect is mutual.  You'll get it when you give it; that's how life works.  Just continue having fun but think of what you are saying and doing.  It's all good microman. 8-)

Fair enough.

Tight lines.

yep many times if nothing else works during the fall and winter here in north FL, they go after chicken skin or liver almost exclusively and won't touch anything else.

I have caught bream of all types (bluegill, shellcracker, warmouth) on that... some of the larger ones have been in the 12-14" range.
